It's a Samajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report


On today's show:


While appearing on a C-SPAN call-in show, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) listens to a military wife caller express her fear and outrage that her medically compromised children will not be able to get their medications unless Congress passes an emergency relief fund to pay servicemembers. In response to the caller, Johnson shifts the blame to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and claims to have no control over the matter.


Only one day before at a joint press conference with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Mike Johnson admits that Congress could and would like to implement emergency funding of military servicemembers only to kowtow to Thune who shuts the idea down - showing that it is not Schumer obstructing military paychecks.


New York Daily News journalist and former Majority Report producer, Evan Simko-Bednarski joins the show to discuss paper's hostile union contract negotiations with the private-equity firm, Alden Global Capitol, that purchased the paper in 2021. Support the New York Daily News Union and call out Alden Global Capitol on social media as they have shown to be peeved when their name is dragged into the light.


President of Demand Justice and also former Majority Report producer, Josh Orton joins the program to discuss his work as a progressive legal advocate.
